One strategy to reduce the costs of building projects is to reduce non-value added activities. This paper describes the concept of non-value added activities by using three separate theoretical concepts: lean production, activity-based costing and management, and poorquality costing. The piece-rate system is one part of many building projects that includes several non-value added activities. These piece-rate related activities are used as a case to elucidate how the three concepts can affect the amount of non-value added activities.
